While most monitors can be used for multiple purposes, they differ in terms of the quality and characteristics of the image.

What to look for when choosing an office monitor

How often will you use the monitor?

For occasional usage, a monitor with a diagonal of at least 19" will suffice.

For regular use, we recommend a monitor with a diagonal of at least 22". For convenience, select a model with an adjustable height and technologies to minimize eye fatigue (Flicker-free, Flicker-safe, etc.).

If you are buying two monitors for one computer, we recommend selecting the same models to avoid differences in colour reproduction.

Resolution

The larger the monitor you choose, the higher the resolution should be. With a higher resolution, you get a more detailed picture and a larger workspace.

Resolution needed to ensure adequate image quality

Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels) or higher

UHD or 4K (3840 × 2160 pixels) or higher

Panel Type

TNmonitors - often characterised by low response times. Compared with IPS monitors they are cheaper, offer lower-quality colour reproduction and narrower viewing angles. While cheaper TN monitors are sufficient for less demanding users, models with 4ms response times are popular with gamers.

MVA/PVAmonitors - in terms of price and picture quality, these are somewhere between IPS/S-IPS and TN monitors. They provide more realistic colour reproduction and wider viewing angles than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors.
